*.* Corrupted Mind *.*
What am I thinking? What not considered miracles? I just read this verse in the bible.
Psalm 127:1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labour in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain.
Furthermore, it is written in my msn nick: †Without God I am nothingâ€
This was my nick very long time ago, it is now and will be forevermore, yet I am not thinking that way now! Lord, please forgive me.
Plus, I should not feel guilty for sleeping early and having enough sleep, for
Psalm 127:2In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat-
for he grants sleep to those he loves.
Thank God in everything.
Do not feel guilty of what the LORD bless you with. I cheered with joy @ | 12:01 PM
*.* ray of light 2007 and miracles *.*
I admit that I was not performing my best in this concert. I was at most of the time trying to blend in with people around me = bluff bluff play very well. Nevertheless, I still received a rose from my beloved long time no see juniors. Lol. Namely huiwen, isabell and their friends. Sorry, forgot their names.
Effect: EMBOSS
This is a picture of the rose and my new table =)
This too, in their original colours.
This is taken during the co camp. Felicia and me =)
Next, miracles. It all happened yesterday, during the proficiency test.
- I cleared all the big plates at the same time without much problems.
- Serving too.
- This is the best. The setting part. My cutlery was placed quite neatly. During practises, I took quite some time to set it and it is not really well done.
***The napkins - I just randomly took a stack of previously folded napkins by others in front of me and set it. Amazingly, it was all quite neatly folded and I was not told off by my teacher when my partner was. Now those who seriously know me inside out would know that I would not consider all these above as miracles, but I just typed it out just in case it was really God's doing and not mine and I just have to credit it. Now this is the real thing.
*****I accidentally took 1 1/2 napkins up when I tried to set it and the napkin below sort of unfolded. I used 1 hand to randomly as fast as I can to try to fold it back and it was obviously not the same as it looked before. However, the teacher did not tell me off because of that and still said my setting was good. Miracle isn't it? =D Love God to bits.
you can be surprised by the power of the saying of 'AMEN' - So be it(or something like that) I cheered with joy @ | 5:13 PM

Qi jian said he saw me at the bus stop at hougang ave 3. Then I also saw mark at the escalator going down the underground passageway to tanah merah mrt station haha.
just being able to see old friends makes me so happy, even when it is just a hi and bye incident I cheered with joy @ | 11:10 PM
*.* East Coast Park *.*
East Coast Park is a scary place. Last time, I don't even know how to go there and when I am there, I don't know how to go home. I have to walk with some friends after the cross country there in the previous years. Now, I am glad to say I know how to go there and home myself haha. All thanks to God and the yahyobabes gathering. -_-

From here, you can see how much I have walked. I have walked for about 45 min to East Coast Park and out of it from 1 end to the other. Poor me. If I am talking to you now, I would have given you all the negative comments.
The tongue holds the power of life and death. I need to change this habit. Anyway, that's why I am typing it down instead. Well, the good thing is I know East Coast Park now! Using 45 min to buy these knowledge is good for me.
If you want to go to barbecue pit near 50, I suggest you take 14 from Tanah Merah towards the direction of Temasek Secondary and stop at the stop right before Chai Chee secondary I think. BBQ pit 50 is also near the jetty. If you want to go to BBQ pit near 10 then I suggest you take bus to Marine Parade, walk in and
tada! You are there!

*.* Changed perception *.*
Yesterday, I went out and witnessed the entire process of a girl falling off her bike. I stared and looked at the entire process and stoned there before helping her pick up her bike with the help of an Indian man. He was actually very concerned about the girl and asked if she was alright while I just kept quiet.
Incident number 2: I got off my seat in the mrt to alight and saw an old woman standing. I didn't ask her to seat down. Bad me. An Indian man saw the seat and wanted to sit down but saw the old woman and asked her to sit instead.
I just remembered someone blogged about racism and
kena jailed so I shall not say anything more but only that these incidents on the same day changed my perception of strangers Indians for the better. While not everyone in the same racial group are the same, I realised that stereotyping is really wrong. I should stop this ungodly thinking.
Today learnt an important lesson. Visualising success is really effective and godly. Confessing it with the mouth too will be much better. Although I did not visualise that everyone actually replied my smses about the co camp, after a few attempts of contacting them, all but 1 replied. It is time for me to rest haha. I was really frustrated when I have to contact them again because they did not reply to my 1st sms. But God is good. He knows my frustration and almost all replied in the end. At least I am almost released from this responsibility. Well, to be a leader, many sacrifices has to be made. It is like a mother taking care of her baby. Giving and giving only. Thank you God for helping me complete my responsibility. =D
Now I know how it is like to not get replies when you want them to, seriously absolutely totally frustrating I cheered with joy @ | 11:53 PM
*.* encouragement *.*
Praise be to the Lord! (I find it difficult to say it out loud because it sounds weird) Just now, val just messaged me in msn and told me she read my blog and was very encouraged in the Lord. She told me she was drifting around and after reading my blog, she decided to stay in the Lord again. Actually just now, I was discouraged by my computer's performance even after I prayed and val shared with me how God talked to her. I was encouraged in the Lord too. It is amazing how God works, we both grew stronger in the Lord. I describe God as amazing because I think I am influenced by my cousin who just knew how to say the word amazing in a amazed tone, haha.
I was so lacked in faith before val talked to me even when He performed many miracles in my life. Now I understand how ming hui jie jie felt when she said that she could not believe entirely in God even when her life was so successful because of God. It is so hard to believe and stand in Him in most parts of our life without the encouragement/testimonies of our family and friends, and also the assurance of God Himself. That is why we need to hold on to our visions and promises of God.
Matthew 21:22
If you believe you will receive whatever you ask in your prayer I cheered with joy @ | 3:02 PM
*.* slow down *.*
God loves us and wants to spend time with us. Slow down and seek His face. Do not worry, for if He can feed the ravens, He can feed us too. When the lilies who have short lifespans are dressed in such beauty, He can clothe us too.
World's most wonderful love story:
The Shepherd is willing to die for His sheep, and He did.

*.* continuation *.*
Just in case any of you are concerned about me, I have a fear of failing. Not only in the case of erhu, also in my studies. Now, the subject that I am currently fearing about is Service Skills Methodology (SSM).
Did I mention before that it is during these fearful, scary and stressed times that I depend on God? I depend on His promises - in my vision on which bible characters that I am called to be, in my cousin's vision of me that God is holding my hand and that I am His bride, in the verses in the bible, the testimonies of many people that God brought them through tough times, on the fact that I look back and see how much I have changed in Him and how far He has brought me through and probably many other more. His love for us cannot be denied. It is in Him that I am now the way I am. I could be worse, still sticking on to my mother wherever she goes, not being able to sleep overnight without knowing that she is under the same roof as me.
Please scroll down where you can see my particulars. There are some verses that are extremely meaningful to me.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. I cheered with joy @ | 1:01 AM
*.* my prayer answered =) *.*
These few weeks, I have been praying for a transformation in me, to be more like Jesus Christ, pure and blameless. Well I guess I am happy that my prayers are answered. For starters, I think I am starting to hear God's voice again, that is good. Furthermore, I am proved wrong. Last sunday, after the Yahs have shared their testimonies, I was thinking that it is not important to believe. Praying and without believing will still get you somewhere, as in your prayers will still be answered. But now, I have been proved wrong. I prayed for the computer to be well again, since it suddenly shut down on me these few days, but it is not answered until just now. I kept on using the previous experience to pray - that God is able to heal the computer, just as He healed the
lao kock kock film camera when I brought it to China with me on April. However, it was of no use. Yesterday, before I started praying for my computer because it shut down on me again, I emailed my junior saying that I should be embarrassed because of me being the section leader despite my lack of skill in playing the erhu. After that, I kept on praying for the computer to be healed, but to no avail. I felt that I should ask for forgiveness for typing that sms because God knows all knowledge in heaven and on earth. And being His child, I am entitled to all these. In Ephesians 1:8, it is written, "that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." I already have that wisdom. It is given to me. I should not be depressed and keep on putting myself down. God is with me always. Although I am faithless, He is faithful, and I will succeed in life because He walks me through. He knows what is good for me and have already planned my life for my good, as written in Jeremiah 29:11. And I did, therefore I can be here typing using my computer now.
Faith is very important. We will die without it. No doubt as young Christians, He will do all things to win us back, to help us trust in Him by creating many miracles in our lives even without us believing in Him. But at 1 point in time, He wants us to grow in Him, to just put our faith in Him, leaning on Him and expect everything to be done even without us interfering in it. He wants to work many more miracles in our lives and to show the whole world that He prepared everything for us, that we are living a spiritual life, not a worldly 1; that we succeed because of His power and grace, not by our own hands, so that no one can boast, that all the evidence of our causes of success point towards Him. His name will be known throughout the world. Blessed be His name!
